    Commuting to Work Wearing Expensive Shoes

    Early wet snow here in NYC today; but wearing Ron Rider shell chukkas with rubber siestres soles got me through the morning errands and bagel run. Yes, they got wet and yes I will carefully dry them in their trees. Then add some Saphir Renovateur later or tomorrow.

    Shell Cordovan : Why are there no sleek shoes?

    Yes, hard to find RTW, but sweet to get MTO. Here are my sleeker ones. My favorite is the EG Westwood in whiskey shell. Going on the first resole and still holding its form. Love it.

    5' 7" what's your jacket length?
